"Leaky Gingerbread" ED12
Deodexed, prerooted - RFS ONLY

Chances are you already know what this is - but in case you don't, this is Android 2.3, Gingerbread, for the Samsung Epic 4G. This is Samsung/Sprint's ED12 build - it is not anywhere near final, but it is direct from Samsung/Sprint. We assure you, this is really Gingerbread. As you will see, this is still early in the development process. There are rough edges that Samsung/Sprint have not smoothed out unless in 15 days they have fixed them all.

This is RFS-only. There is no EXT4 support - believe me, we tried to hack it in there for you, but it's just not happening right now. Other devs are welcome to try, but we don't believe it's possible at this point. However, the kernel is rooted, and contains Busybox for your device usage pleasure.

How To Install
Odin (download) to stock EC05 (download official TAR), use the CWM2.5 one-click, wipe data/cache three times, and flash the ROM. If you wish to use the ED12 modem, you can flash that through Odin - however, we found it provided no gain, and just caused trouble with 3G data and VVM. The EC05 modem will work fine.

Known Bugs

None, as a result of the packaging process. Behavior is identical to stock. However, the stock package is known to have the following issues, all of which have been reproduced in testing:

- 4G non-functional
- GPS non-functional out of the box - WORKAROUND: get GPS Status from the Market; reset AGPS status (works with wireless networks off)
- Wake lag present
- Does not boot when plugged in and powered off, unplug to boot
- Temperature sensor readings are incorrect. You may see interrupted charging due to bad battery temp readings.
- Slide to unlock button sometimes 'sticks'
- Has Carrier IQ (dieplz) ;)

Downloads - No Wait Times!

Download ROM/kernel (Direct) | Mirrors :: Direct #2 - Mediafire
Download ED12 modem - OPTIONAL (Direct) | Mirrors :: Direct #2 - Mediafire - Sharebeast


FAQ
  • I flashed the ED12 modem and it sucks! I want to go back to the EC05 modem! Download this and Odin it.
  • Where's the TAR? Our source put his job at risk by giving this to us. Unfortunately, we cannot release the TAR untouched for this very reason.
  • WHERE'S THE %^#&ing TAR?!?! Did you not read the above? Die in a fire. You're not missing anything, trust us.
  • I'm getting FCs! Wipe data and reflash. Otherwise, this is fully stock, and comes with what any full-stock build will.
  • Why can't I flash this with CWM3? It's not compatible with EXT4, and as such the update-script is in Amend format to prevent you from using CWM3.
  • How do I flash the modem in Odin? Put your phone in Download mode by holding 1 on the keyboard and the power button until you get to a yellow triangle. Connect the phone to USB. Open Odin, load the PIT in PIT and the modem in PDA (or Phone - both work). Uncheck everything on the left except Auto Reboot. Click the big button.

I have the crt animation working now. Check the themes section.

!!!WARNING!!!

Very unlikely but battery reporting issues nullifys the proper heat detection system so battery can catostophically overheat and may explode. There are backups (i think), and it is unlilely anyways. But you risk it when flashing. K0nane, please post this as a precaution in the OP.
